According to the Al-Akhbar newspaper, in an article by Radwan Mortada, the same court that dropped the charges against Khayyam’s executioner, Amer Al-Fakhoury over time, did not take time with Agent Bazzi, adding that the justifications invoked by their former president, Brigadier General Hussein Abdullah, for the release of Al-Fakhoury The court used it, but to owe my disguise.
The writer added in his article that agent “Mahmoud Anisa” has 27 sons and a daughter with four wives. He has 85 grandchildren, of whom only three are known, as he was on the run for 36 years as a result of his involvement in dealing with the Israeli enemy before he was detained and handed over to Lebanon by the US authorities five years ago.
This “Anisa” is one of the oldest prisoners in Roumieh Central Prison, where he is now eighty years old. Days earlier, the military court handed down a life sentence with forced labor before reducing the sentence to 15 years due to the age of the convict. But this verdict was rendered without much fanfare, despite the fact that the said agent is on trial for the crime of kidnapping and murdering Irish soldiers in 1979, that is, forty-one years ago (and the charge of killing the Irish is the reason for his extradition by the Americans).
This ruling recalls, added the article’s author, the scandal of the release of agent Amer Al-Fakhoury. On March 15 last year, the same court ruled that the crimes committed by the “Khayyam Gilad” had diminished over time.
What was the difference between the decision made by the former president of the court, Brigadier General Hussein Abdullah, and the current president of the court, Brigadier General Munir Shehadeh?
The client’s agent, Mahmoud Bazzi, the lawyer Saliba al-Hajj, began his argument by saying, according to the writer, that “Mahmoud is dressed as an orphan of the father, and not as Al-Fakhoury, behind whom the United States stood from America”.
Lawyer Al-Hajj relates that his client was charged on October 31, 2005, after George Makhoul, one of those accused of killing Irish soldiers, was arrested for recalling that agent Saad Haddad sent him to find out what it happened, admitting that Bazzi carried out the execution. Al-Hajj continues that, as a result of an authorized confession, Mahmoud Bazzi and Sobhi Bazzi allegedly committed the murder committed on April 18, 1981 (it is mentioned in the complaint that the crime occurred in 1979), revealing that “Subhi Bazzi was dismissed by the passage of time without even being questioned ”. He says the FBI arrested his client in 2014 after it was discovered that there was a defect in his papers. Al-Hajj mentioned that the Irish authorities intervened on the day to prosecute him, but he was investigated before it was decided to hand him over to the Lebanese government to investigate the murder of the Irish, because he was considered a Lebanese citizen and because the crime occurred in Lebanese territory, for which he was deported.
In the introduction to the allegation, Al-Hajj addressed the court and said: “The first opponent of justice is the text if you are going to judge it”, adding: “There may be a desire for conviction, but the texts can be prohibitive regarding the degree of penalty due to the passage of time during which the court loses its authority in the trial and loses its authority. The Public Ministry is also the authority to prosecute. “
Here the president of the court intervened, objecting to the word “desire”, and was withdrawn. In addition to the passage of time, he mentioned an additional excuse represented in the Amnesty Law enacted in 1991, which includes the crime committed. It was based on articles 438 and 439 of the Code of Procedure and article 5 of the Penal Code.
The writer stated in his article that “Judging by Al-Hajj’s allegation, it is possible to return to the Al-Fakhoury case. At that time, Brigadier General Hussein Abdullah invoked the passage of time and the existence of compelling reasons that held the client accountable for his crimes, in addition to the fact that he was not charged against Al-Fakhoury during this period. Brigadier General Shehadeh and the court relied on the same grounds to incriminate Bazzi, claiming that compelling reasons represented in the border area and considering the crime a war crime broke the passage of time. Sources indicated that compelling reasons prevented the security forces from traveling to the place and the investigation, for which the court concluded with two excuses for break the passage of time First: consider it a war crime Second: consider that the compelling reasons represented by the border strip prevented it from being accountable because it was protected from enemy Israeli forces.
Furthermore, in exchange for the court ruling, lawyer Saliba believes that there has been interference by the Irish authorities since the arrest of his client, as the Irish consul visited the court several years ago, saying they were hinting at the possibility of bringing a case before the International Court of Justice in case Bazzi was not convicted. He revealed that he had submitted a request to appeal the sentence to the Military Court of Cassation.
The writer stated that Mahmoud Anisa lost consciousness as soon as he was informed of the verdict, as he was expected to be satisfied with the period of his detention.
